Re: Potential Root for latest OTA

if we get full root to our devices is there a way to "login" so-to-speak as a "normal" user so as to not run rooted full time? yet at the same time to allow functions like tethering or over/underclocking that seems to require root?

basically, a phone that lets us do what we want without the security risks - i for sure wouldn't know how to lock down my phone and make it secure once its rooted.

To me its not enough to say that no malicious apps have been seen yet because to me that just says that no one's been caught, not that the viruses/rogue apps don't exist.

is there a way to do a security audit of our devices, to know where potential holes are?
